Another Fox News host is in trouble. Eric Bolling has been suspended by the network as investigation is still ongoing about whether or not he sent lewd photographs to three female colleagues via text messages in years past.
A spokesperson for the network confirms it in a statement which reads, "Eric Bolling has been suspended pending the results of an investigation, which is currently underway." Law firm Paul Weis is conducting the investigation.
The Huffington Post was the first to bring the allegations to light, reporting on Friday, August 4 that Bolling had "sent an unsolicited photo of male genitalia via text message to at least two colleagues at Fox Business and one colleague at Fox News." The messages were reportedly sent on separate occasions.
Bolling's attorney Michael J. Bowe denied the accusations. "The anonymous, uncorroborated claims are untrue and terribly unfair. We intend to fully cooperate with the investigation so that it can be concluded and Eric can return to work as quickly as possible," he said on Saturday.
Bolling is a longtime host at the network. He currently co-hosts "The Specialists", which replaced "The Five" in April. A rotation of substitute hosts will fill in for Bolling on the show. He also hosts weekend show "Cashin' In".
